Mitosis is a process by which 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells, those 2 cells divide and become 4 cells, and so on. Write an e

quation for the nth term of the geometric sequence giving the numbers of cells at each stage of this process, where a1=1. Then find a10.

Answer:

An equation for the nth term is aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

and a₁₀ = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 1 cell divides and becomes 2 cells, those 2 cells divide and become 4 cells, and so on

∴The sequence will be

1,2,4, ..., n

From the formula

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

Where aₙ is the nth term

a₁ is the first term

n is the number of terms

and r is the common ratio

From the sequence,

a₁ = 1,

r = a₂/a₁ = 2/1 = 2

∴ The nth term (aₙ) will be

aₙ = (1)(2)ⁿ⁻¹

aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

Hence, an equation for the nth term is aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

To find a₁₀, substitute n= 10 into the equation

aₙ = 2ⁿ⁻¹

Then

a₁₀ = 2¹⁰ ⁻ ¹

a₁₀ = 2⁹

a₁₀ = 512

∴ a₁₀ = 512

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, -1) and
trapecia [35]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the slope by using the slope formula and get 0. Now, choose one coordinate and plug it into the equation y = mx + b along with the slope. If you chose the first coordinate, the equation would be -1 = (0)(5) + b. After solving for b (the y-intercept) you would get -1. Lastly, you rewrite the equation as y = -1.

A service club is selling raffle tickets for 2.50 each to raise money for a charity. Vanessa has 34.75 to spend on raffle ticket
posledela

Answer:

13 Raffle tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost for one riffle ticket = 2.50

Total money of Vanessa budgeted for riffle ticket : 34.75

Greatest number of riffle ticket, venessa can with with 34.75

I'll like us to divide 34.75 by 2.5 to get the exact value.

Therefore,

34.75 / 2.5

= 13.9

It therefore implies that, Vanessa will buy a maximum of 13 riffle tickets and still have a change of 2.25
